Re: BA2 freeze when starting

I've noted in another post that I'm running W11 on a new computer. Pip's suggestion of renaming the BA2 folder DID allow the game to launch, but the game tells me I have to update from the Launcher. When I try that I get "Update information for B A 2 could not be downloaded. Please contact Slit...

Re: BA & BA2 and Windows11

Update. I tried many things to get BA2 to launch and run from Steam, but could not get it to work (as described above). So, I re-purchased BA2 directly from Slitherine to avoid using Steam, and that version does the same thing...it launches, but then hangs and even the cursor is gone when I startup ...

Re: BA & BA2 and Windows11

I have a problem. Brand-new ASUS Zephyrus G14 with W11. BA1 launches and plays just fine. BA2 hangs on launch and when I launch Task Manager to recover, the cursor is gone. This suggests to me some kind of display/graphics card monkey business buried somewhere in an incompatibility among the W11, AS...

Good start. These scenarios work, but they are quite easy to win.

Re: Multiplayer scenarios by Cavehobbit

These are very good scenarios. I still like Smolensk a great deal, in spite of having played it 20 times. Night Attack is also excellent. I've only played it four times, but the Germans have won every time. Perhaps giving the Germans 2 fewer tanks as reinforcements would even it out.

Re: SP and MP Otto Carius campaigns for download

Have played the nose half a dozen times now. Regardless of opponent, the Germans always win. To make it more balanced, how about eliminating the giant indirect fire guns or cutting back to one? Or get rid of or reduce the German mortars. Perhaps simply allowing the Russians to deploy, rather than ha...

Re: SP and MP Otto Carius campaigns for download

Have played The Nose MP twice. It is great. One of my favorites. Both times the Germans won without extreme effort. I'd like to play the Soviet side, but try as we might, I and my partner could never get me to come up as anything other than German no matter which of us posted the challenge; strange....

I will ask the server team to delete the game. For that they will need the details (the map/opponent name/last time played).

Great scenario. When I download the .LST I get a4, not a6...and, I see that some people have a5. Where is the .LST for a5 or a6? Many thanks
